Service Details

Judy Hethershaw
12/25/42 - 11/15/20

Judy was born on Christmas Day 1942 and perhaps that is why she had such a bright and beautiful soul.

Judy raised 3 sons which certainly was not easy. Guiding them through life while always offering encouragement and support no matter what they were facing. For many years she operated what seemed like her own taxi service, making sure 3 active boys were able to get to and from thousands of ball games, practices, school activities, and jobs. Judy and her car were always on the move and everywhere she went she would be meeting people and making friends. As a lifelong resident of Des Moines she made and kept friends from childhood to present day. Judy had the gift of being able to speak to everyone but also possessed a loving ear and everyone knew that she truly cared about them. She loved and cherished all of her friends and neighbors very much. Judy loved sunshine, green grass, and beautiful flowers .She loved sitting in her driveway at night visiting with her neighbors. She truly loved life but most of all SHE LOVED HER FAMILY!

Judy is survived by her son, Rick Hethershaw; brother, Rusty Erickson; sister-in-law, Beth Erickson; brother, Mike Freeman; and 3 grandchildren, Charlsie Hethershaw, Harrison Hethershaw, Andrew Hethershaw; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sons, Rod Hethershaw and Todd Hethershaw; and her parents.

Due to COVID 19 there will be a memorial held at a later date.
